Manual hoists are available in two types: pull lever and hand chain. Both are the most economical hoist system available and are often used in construction, public utilities, and manufacturing.
Manual Lever Puller Hoists
Transfer loads vertically or horizontally and the smallest models can fit in a carrying case attached to your tool belt.
Manual Hand Chain Hoists
A simplified way to lift up to 50 tons, hand chain hoists provide low headroom with a trolley and spark-resistant features.
Manual Lever Pullers
Manual lever pullers, often referred to as come-a-longs or ratchet hoists, are used to both lift and pull items during the rigging process.
- These manual chain hoists are designed to move loads either vertically or horizontally.
- Manual lever pullers can be used inverted or for any angle pull.
- Because of their compact design, these hoists can be used in tight quarters.
- Manual lever hoists are usually designed to free wheel for fast/easy movement of the unloaded lifting chain, and they have 360 degree rotation of both the lever and the top swivel hook, allowing for easy rigging.
- Manual lever hoists are available in1/4 to 9 ton capacities and larger.
- Some ¼ ton manual lever hoists come with optional carrying case that slip onto belts for convenience and mobility.
Manual Hand Chain Hoists
Manual hand chain hoists are an economical way to lift even the heaviest of loads. With capacities that range from ¼ ton to 50 ton, these hoists are designed to make a big job small.
Equipped with two chains:
- The hand chain is a continuous chain that is looped around a wheel located on the hoist. This wheel is designed with recessed pockets that engage the chain and allow the pulling of the chain to drive the gearbox of the hoist.
- The lifting chain moves up or down when the hand chain is pulled in one direction or the other and can be reeved with several stands of chain (falls) depending on the capacity of the hoist.

In the late 1990s, CraneWerks noticed that the American crane industry was in trouble. Big overseas companies were making huge inroads into the US market by setting up their own sales networks. Their seemingly unlimited resources and capabilities made it increasingly difficult for independent US dealers to stay competitive.
Against that backdrop, CraneWerks was founded in 1997 with a vision: give independent American dealers a chance to compete in their own backyard by giving them the opportunity to say “Yes” to all their customers’ overhead material handling needs.
The actions we take in our lives create lasting reverberations, often enduring beyond our time. Roger Graham, a cherished member of the CraneWerks family for 18 years, was a remarkable and generous individual whose actions and words have left a lasting impact. His legacy continues to resonate with those who had the privilege of knowing or working with him. In honor of his memory, the Roger Graham Scholarship is presented each year to a deserving local high school senior pursuing education in a trade school.
